The word "cheat" made Yu Shujun's lips tighten.
She seemed to want to say something to refute Wen Nan, but she found that she was not as thick-skinned as the people around her. In the end, she could only reply weakly, "I didn't lie to you."
Wen Nan stared at the other person's profile and felt that the word "lie" was written all over it.
But to be honest, this little servant of his was obviously good at lying. He almost fooled Wen Nan just now. Looking at the motionless 98% exploration degree in the system, Wen Nan actually believed that according to the system's requirements, the two of them would have to sleep for a night to get the "key prop".
But just now, Xiaofei, Ruhuan, and Wenwen handed their key props to Wen Nan one after another. Wen Nan went through the system process and gained experience, then he realized that he had been fooled -
The "key props" in this first main quest correspond to the story line of each character. Since the theme of this copy is "living with a yandere", this prop must be related to cohabitation.
In other words, as the corresponding characters' desire to live with Wen Nan increases, the possibility of them handing over the "key props" to Wen Nan increases. At this time, the system will determine that the prop exploration degree has increased.
Previously in the company's shooting room, Wenwen had once taken out the "key prop". Similarly, in the storage room, Ruhuan also wanted to give her props directly to Wen Nan. In other words, when the exploration degree reaches about 90%, it is enough for the character to hand over the "key prop".
Just now, the three women had private conversations with Wen Nan separately. After they confirmed their determination to give the props in their hands to Wen Nan, they successively increased their exploration degree to 98%.
It seems that this copy system sets the value of 98% as the threshold for the character to confirm handing over the props.
After reaching this threshold, there is no need for Wen Nan to continue to explore the last 2%. As long as the character hands over the props at any time, the exploration degree will automatically jump to 100% the moment Wen Nan gets the props.
Yu Shujun had already reached 98% in the previous scene of "a family of three happily having dinner", which means that at that time, as long as Yu Shujun handed over the props, the main task of "hidden character" would be completed.
As a result, the little servant has grown up and started to play tricks on his master. Not only does he refuse to hand over the props, he also makes additional demands without permission.
In fact, Wen Nan knew that Yu Shujun made such arrangements for his own good. Just like in every previous dungeon, Yu Shujun would complain about Wen Nan's behavior of running around and flirting with girls, and he often quarreled with Wen Nan about such things.
Wen Nan understood that Yu Shujun was doing all this just to make Wen Nan feel at ease staying at Yu Shujun's house and being with him at night.
There is no bad intention.
But, wouldn't it be better to just say it out loud? It's just a matter of sleeping at home for one night. Wen Nan likes to flirt with other girls outside, but he is also happy to come home and stay for a night occasionally.
Do you have to cheat or attack? That's unethical.
It was so embarrassing for Wen Nan, an old cucumber in the love field, to be bitten back by a tender little clam.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan folded his hands over his chest, leaned closer to the seat, and said in a serious tone, "You'd better confess everything before the master gets angry."
Wen Nan was not sure how much of a deterrent effect this sentence had on Yu Shujun, but Qiqi, who was sitting in the back row, could clearly feel the tense atmosphere, which made the silver driving pattern on the back of her neck faintly hot and emit a silver-white light.
She didn't dare to say a word, her eyes rolled back and forth, looking nervously at the two people in the front row.
After a moment of stalemate, the one who was controlled finally compromised.
After a sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground, Yu Shujun braked the car urgently to the side of the road.
Wen Nan turned his head and saw that the other party was rummaging through his equipment reserve column for a while, and then...
Take out a rusty key.
Key? The key to Yu Shujun's door? Definitely not. Yu Shujun's door has a combination lock, and the combination has been given to Wen Nan. There is no need for a key. Even if a key is needed, it will definitely not be such an old and rusty one.
So this is...
Just as I was thinking, I sensed Wen Nan's gaze, and the system prompt sounded in my mind -
9527: [Congratulations to the contestant! You have successfully found the key item of the "hidden character" - the treasure chest key! ]
9527: [Congratulations to the contestants, the exploration degree of the key item "Hidden Character" has been increased to 100%.]
Wen Nan took the rusty key and weighed it in his hand. It was surprisingly heavy. "The key to the treasure chest?"
What treasure chest? There is actually a treasure chest in this dungeon? Is this a map that combines character guides and treasure hunts? When I first entered, the dungeon title didn't even mention it.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Yu Shujun say, "This doesn't belong here."
Doesn't belong here? So, this is an item that was obtained from another instance and brought here?
"It doesn't belong here, but can it be used?" Wen Nan was a little confused.
There is no problem bringing items obtained from other copies into this copy. However, it is a bit strange that they are directly judged by the copy system as "key items" related to the main quest.
"'Provide an item that is most likely to trigger the character's **trait'. This is the requirement of the dungeon system when assigning a character background to me. I have 3.5 items that meet the requirements, namely **, **, **, and **. The only items that can be called up by the dungeon system are the ones you have now..."
Yu Shujun stopped talking halfway, his brows furrowed, his chest heaving, his hands gripping the steering wheel so hard that the leather cover was deformed, his whole body trembling slightly, and sweat quickly seeping out of his pale face.
He looked like a patient suffering a heart attack, as if he had suddenly fallen into extreme physical discomfort.
"System warning?" Wen Nan asked with concern.
Because it involves serious spoilers, so while muting the sound, Yu Shujun was punished in some way? Yu Shujun's pale lips tightened and he nodded.
Wen Nan searched for a while in his own equipment reserve column, but couldn't find a suitable potion. He then went to the guild's equipment library and quickly caught a glimpse of something called [Spoiler Symptom Relief Capsule]. It showed that the person who shared it was Gu Jinxing. There was only one capsule, but the thing was stuffed into Wen Nan's exclusive shared space before he entered the dungeon, so it could be directly used in this dungeon.
Wen Nan took out the capsule and handed it to Yu Shujun.
Yu Shujun glanced at the small pill in the other person's hand. This thing was not expensive because it could only relieve symptoms. There were not many players in the mall willing to buy it back at a high price, but the quantity was very rare. Yu Shujun's own guild had never had it in its shared equipment library.
Shaking his head, Yu Shujun said, "No, wait a while, the symptoms will disappear on their own."
"You have medicine but you insist on carrying it yourself?"
Wen Nan didn't understand, so he raised his hand and grabbed Yu Shujun's wrist, pulled her hand off the steering wheel, and then stuffed the pill into her palm.
Yu Shujun stared at Wen Nan in a daze, letting him hold his hand, and whispered, "This kind of pain will soon dissipate after a while. If you encounter a hostile player, it may affect your strength and agility. I will leave it with you until the critical moment..."
"What critical moment? It won't be used," Wen Nan laughed, "I have been praised by the system. So far, I have never mentioned any spoilers. Isn't that amazing, Master?"
Looking at the smug curve at the other person's lips, Yu Shujun chuckled.
Wen Nan looked at the other person's smiling face, which was as vivid as a lily swaying in the wind.
"why are you laughing?"
"Laughing at you, you're so silly and cute."
Wen Nan was caught off guard by the compliment - Wen Nan tentatively assumed it was a compliment - and was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject somewhat abruptly: "Eat quickly, this is an order."
A subtle light flashed on the golden driving pattern, and Yu Shujun opened the small round medicine box in his hand, picked up the pill, put it into his mouth and swallowed it, then quietly put the medicine box back into his pocket intact.
Wen Nan was looking for water in the spare equipment column and did not notice the other party's small action. When he found the water and was about to pass it over, he found that the other party had already swallowed it. He shook his head helplessly and still stuffed the water into the other party's hand.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Turning back, Wen Nan looked at the overly quiet Qiqi in the back seat and discovered that she had taken out her cell phone at some point and was still reading the Monkey King's book. However, the one who was stabbed by the golden cudgel had changed from a female Ultraman to a female Third Prince.
Wen Nan couldn't understand and looked at Yu Shujun who was drinking water. "You gave it to her? Where did you get it?"
Yu Shujun shrugged, "There are a lot of them in the player community."
Wen Nan shook his head and thought that the child had grown up and he could no longer control him, so he simply retrieved the key props he had obtained from the system and began to study them.
These key props are related to the cohabitation plot lines of each character, so they all have background introductions. However, Wen Nan is not bound now, so they are blocked and cannot be displayed.
However, from the clues he had obtained so far, Wen Nan could guess one very important thing -
This was figured out from the information revealed by Yu Shujun just now.
Yu Shujun was already a gold-ranked player. Players who could reach this level must be very clear about the system's rules prohibiting spoilers, and Yu Shujun had always strictly followed them before. Why did he suddenly let his guard down this time and let slip something he shouldn't have? Because it wasn't a slip of the tongue, but the information was too important, so important that Yu Shujun had to tell Wen Nan even at the risk of being punished by the system.
Although many key words were blocked in the conversation that Wen Nan heard, it was still easy to piece together what Yu Shujun wanted to tell Wen Nan from the remaining information in that conversation.
According to Yu Shujun, when the system was preparing the character identity for him, it required "providing a prop that is most likely to trigger the character's **trait". The character trait here, obviously, refers to the "Yandere" attribute in the copy title.
This can be inferred from the key props that Wen Nan has currently collected from other characters.
At first, Wen Nan thought that this "key prop" should be used for cohabitation, such as a bunch of keys to open the door, or the password of an electronic door lock.
However, after clearly obtaining the two props, Wen Nan realized that this was not the case. This "key prop" might indeed be related to cohabitation, but it was not a necessary element.
To become a "key item", the necessary element is that it must be able to effectively trigger the yandere attribute of the corresponding character.
When Ru Huan proposed to Wen Nan to live together, what she wanted to give Wen Nan was a tracking bracelet. Because of her yandere nature, she was a young stepmother with a strong desire for control. When she wanted to transfer the control she had over her stepson to her new cohabiting partner, she gave Wen Nan the tracking bracelet. If Wen Nan accepted the bracelet, it would be tantamount to accepting the other party's yandere habit of monitoring Wen Nan's whereabouts at all times and remotely controlling Wen Nan's behavior.
What Xiao Fei gave to Wen Nan was a whistle for stopping. Although the password of their door lock was indeed engraved on the bottom of the whistle, it should be an unimportant element. The reason why this whistle became a key prop was because of Xiao Fei's yandere nature. She was a manic patient and loved her brother deeply.
That's why when Xiao Fei wanted Wen Nan to be her new brother and live with her, she bit Wen Nan uncontrollably.
This whistle to stop should be a game or agreement between Xiaofei and her brother. Accepting it is equivalent to accepting that Xiaofei may get sick at any time and do something out of line at any time because of her deep love. The brother must try his best to be patient. If he really can't stand it, he can use the whistle to stop his sister's "love" for him temporarily.
If this is confirmed, then looking back at the key that Yu Shujun gave to Wen Nan, the hidden message in it can be easily guessed -
This rusty key will trigger the latent yandere nature deep inside Yu Shujun.
And when will Yu Shujun go crazy?
Wen Nan had seen it once, in the trial map, when he used the replica fragment.
When Yu Shujun was having a long conversation with Wen Nan on the windowsill, he also said that what he feared most in his heart was that Yu Shou Twelve would die in his arms and he would be powerless to do anything.
Therefore, the other part of the information that was blocked in Yu Shujun’s previous words should all be related to the fragments of the divine staff.
To restore it, it is——
There are 3.5 props in total that can make Yu Shujun fall into a state similar to "yandere", including 2.5 fragments that Yu Shujun himself carries and this key.
The authority of the 2.5 scepter fragments is too high, and the built-in task system of this copy has no right to convert them into props in its main task. Therefore, the only thing Yu Shujun can take out and use as his key prop is this rusty key.
And if Wen Nan guessed correctly, this key was related to the amulet corresponding to a certain fragment of the divine staff.
In other words, Yu Shujun found the key to this treasure chest in a previous copy, and the treasure chest corresponding to this key was guarded by a certain fragment.
For some reason, Yu Shujun did not get the treasure chest, but only got the key.
The reason why this key can be so perfectly integrated into the current copy plot is probably because the owner of the treasure chest is here.
This is the information that Yu Shujun is willing to reveal to Wen Nan at the risk of being punished by the system.
There is an amulet and the fragment of the staff she is guarding, which are probably in this map.
